I suspect there are much lighter file managers that are good and useable... just not as good as Rox
Maybe the tree file manager that Puppy used to include?_________________Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

openbox is very STABLE( no problems with full screen gxine for example) and fast ( + have a gui to configure)
I use it with fbpanel or lxpanel

also xfce4( not only a wm) is one of my choice ( xfwm4 themes and panel is the most cutomizable panel) even on eee pc( with iconbox plugin)
also with fbpanel or xfce4 panel you have unified look with gtk theme you choose
openbox and xfwm4 - no problems with unicode

as for speed - look at NOP and Boxpup created by Gray

E17 has no system tray ( needed by blinky or skype), so you have to use trayer

i think it's possible to use just xfwm4 and panel with/rox ( though now application menu on right click) desktop without thunar
maybe it's possible to find out what files can be ommited from xfce4 pet
i did not test yet but think that transparency might also work

only you need to set up icon theme in gtkrc.mine to see icons in xfce4 panel menu or to cahnge puppy menu files a bit ( add fullpaths to icons

Fluxbox here, but I doubt you want it as default wm. It's both lightweight, usable and styleable, many distros make their light versions using it or include it as second choice.

For something called "Pupbuntu" your best choice would be probably xfce

Oh yeah, Fluxbox is for sure not w/out it's charms. I simply love Flux! It's simple, attractive & highly portable! Ya know I'm adding that one for sure! I think it is definitely one of the best WM. Hell, maybe I should just program my own WM! There's a concept lol._________________// A word from our sponsors..
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
main()
{
cout << "Linux Rocks! \n";
return 0;
}

I don't like thunar, Really if we were making a puppy official release, I would go with Rox/Xfce combo, I like the look and apps of Xfce but hate thunar, Rox I think is 10 times better for the seasoned puppy user.

desktop backgrounds
pseudo-icons (more like buttons, but then single click is more intuitive)
unlimited trays anywhere on the desktop
separate popup menus for each mouse button (all can even be different than or the same as the "start" menu)
(and of course windows, trays, pager, taskbar etc...)

And thanks to Patriot it now supports window and tray translucency and better theming

(still need to update the event manager and other scripts to update the drive icons, to place/remove icons and other stuff that was previously hacked for Rox)

If someone were to patch it to allow only the background of individual trays and traybuttons to be translucent as well (not the icons labels etc...) it would have FULL icon support (not just button icons)._________________Check out my github repositories. I may eventually get around to updating my blogspot.

You do need to realise that it would be a lot of work building a gtk1 Puppy if you want its functionality to compare with a normal Puppy._________________Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

It would and it wouldn't, The first thing would to be getting it going, keep in mind its for a 133, would be rox, I personally would download a older version of rox,jwm,xorg from early 1 series, plus the gtk1.2,glib1.2 etc the list of deps I did provided previously. Then mount copy/edit the sfs removing all the gtk2,xorg,jwm.rox deps, and the rox,jwm,xorg, gtk1.2+others, and make the squash sfs, build a iso, burn and test. What works stays, what doesn't gets removed.
